Alex Hodoyan

Alex Hodoyan is a young Mexican-American swept into the orbit of the Arellano Félix organization, chasing the same money and status pulling in friends and family around him. Eager to prove himself and be taken seriously, he's charming and a little naive, not yet reckoning with how far in he's stepping.

Ferro plays him with an open, easily-flattered warmth that makes his slide into cartel life feel less like villainy than drift — a kid saying yes to the wrong invitations because they feel like belonging. The show uses that softness to humanize the machinery around the Arellanos, and Ferro never lets you forget there's a person underneath the choices.
